I lost ten pounds when I got my braces on. People keep telling me I'll get it back when they finally come off, but I might just end up leaving bread out of my diet.

However, I would have been happy to help out - I love painting.

Yes, get that well done.

Show is OVER!! For some reason, probably all the alcohol everyone was drinking, they even loved the 'poem' I put together.

That's actually a very good plan. Add to that list of no-no's: Orange juice (just eat an orange), white rice, white potatoes, and plain flour pasta. The good news is that red wine, beer and whiskey have glycemic indices of zero! It turn out that the low-fat mania we went through for the last twenty-something years is exactly the wrong choice. Low carbohydrate/low sugar will take off the weight, reduce your chances of developing Type 2 diabetes and make you feel better--once you spend the first week feeling yucky as you come down off the sugar rush you've spent most of your life in. After that it's fine. Might even raise your libido . . .

Don’t know if I ever told you, but you were the first person I “met” on Lit. You invited me into Molly’s thread and made me feel at home. I really appreciated that. You also prolly know more about the “doings” of our family than just about anybody else on Lit. That’s cuz you care and are appreciated for being you.--posthumous message from Safe_Bet. And I still care and I still love her. Rest in the Light, Suzy.

Yay! Congrats on a successful show and getting the poem finished! Rolf, another glass of champagne for Anna.

Thank you, Rolf. The show went really well and the party afterward was even better. Our group seemed to like the poem, but I hated it. I don't consider myself a poet, so it was prose. And now I'm going to stop complaining about the whole thing.

Thank you for the rose, john.

Auditions are coming up for our next show, so I have that to look forward to.

I've already cut orange juice, but all the others will be tough. No potatoes? I'm 3/4 Irish! Tuna with either rice or pasta is my fall-back meal when I cook for myself.

Can I get a shot of something strong? I need to get rid of some frustration with my job!

A colleague at work really annoyed me by bragging that she worked 8 hours and did Jack-$*** and the same will happen tonight because of who the closing manager is! Arrrrgh!

I've worked with people like that, too. It's frustrating how long they last at the job.

Yeah, I've worked with them, too! Last time I was in retail, I was able to get the scheduling manager on my side. Because I'd cover for people if I could, she'd give me weekends off whenever I wanted, and support me when people complained.
